CASE OF M.H. AND OTHERS v. CROATIA (no. 15670/18)
What was at stake
Whether the applicants' rights to life, protection from torture, liberty, freedom from collective expulsion, and access to the Court were violated.
What the court decided
The Court declared the remainder of the application inadmissible as manifestly ill‑founded, and found that Croatia violated the applicants' right to life (lack of effective investigation), the prohibition of torture (degrading treatment) for some applicants but not for others, the right to liberty (unlawful detention), the prohibition of collective expulsion of aliens, and the applicants' right to bring an individual application. The Court awarded the applicants non‑pecuniary damages.
